Chapter 20 - Encounter
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Contrary to what the students expected, Yan Chong did not let go of his arm in a panic and fell off the horizontal bar. He did not curl up to take the hit either.
One of his hands was holding onto the horizontal bar, and his arm was still bent. The other hand seemed to be slow, but it was actually fast, and he caught the ball very calmly. Faced with such a strong impact, his body that was suspended in midair did not move at all.
“It must be a lie!” A boy wearing glasses who was sitting on a sit-up equipment muttered.
At the basketball court.
“Damn, the ball you send is too big!”
“Hey, it’s about to hit someone!”
“Dodge!”
Yan Chong grabbed the ball with one hand. His palm was big to begin with and he could barely grab the ball with one hand. However, he definitely couldn’t intercept and grab the ball with one hand at such a fast speed.
First, he let go of the pole and dropped it to the ground. Next, he threw the ball gently with his other hand and it landed right in the arms of the student closest to him on the court. Then, he quietly walked towards the two poles beside him, hiding his achievements and fame.
“The physical fitness of humans these days isn’t that bad.” Li Mubai sat by the side of the court and watched his classmates play basketball. When he noticed this scene, his eyes flashed and he sighed inwardly.
‘There seemed to be a flash of light in his pupils. A virtual screen that only he could see appeared in front of him. On it, the number behind a special symbol suddenly rose from 8 to 21, then to 8. When he looked at himself, the number suddenly jumped to 91.
“Ding! You have a new letter.” A letter icon suddenly appeared on the virtual screen. Li Mubai opened it with his mind. After reading it, he frowned slightly and went to a corner with fewer people. He closed his eyes and pondered.
In reality, he was using his mind to reply to the email.
After school, Yan Chong packed his things and walked out of the classroom.
First of all, he had to study the few skills of the Plant Master that he had just copied from his deskmate Li Mubai. Secondly, before transmigrating tonight, he had to copy a few spells from Catherine in case he could use them after obtaining the meditation technique in the other world.
On the streets, he thought about the slaughterhouse again.
“I don’t know if they’re closed now, but it won’t take much time to see them now.”
Yan Chong took out his phone and searched for the location. Then, he frowned. As the slaughterhouse would cause a certain amount of pollution, the location of the factory was usually located in some remote areas. Therefore, it would take two hours to get there by car.
Yan Chong had not considered this at all.
“Forget it. I always want to rely on these external things and want to become stronger without any hard work. I can’t have such corrupt thoughts. Although God gave me the Demon Eye Bloodline, he must have hoped that I could obtain XP through my own hard work.
“It’s just like how I’ve brushed shoulders with the Death God time and time again in the short span of a single day in the Endless Mainland. But at the same time, I’ve also received generous rewards. Therefore, I feel at ease when I use this XP.”
After a period of internal strife, Yan Chong felt that his understanding had suddenly increased by a level. So he walked home happily.
However, a shout suddenly came from the front, drawing his attention.
“Someone’s running around naked!”
“Quick, catch the thief!”
Yan Chong looked up and saw a naked man rushing over from the distance. His speed was extremely fast. He felt that even a strong young man would not be able to reach such speed. However, with Yanchong’s current eyes, he could naturally see clearly.
This naked guy did not even wear shoes. He had waist-length hair and a few clothes under his armpits. He had probably just stolen them.
A few lines of information appeared in front of Yan Chong.

“Another abnormal human. Desire Messenger, you look a little evil. I have a feeling that the rumored Abnormal Human Research Center will appear on Earth in the future.”
Yan Chong felt that he had to do something, so he estimated that person’s route and went forward.
Five or six seconds later, that person rushed over. When he saw Yan Chong blocking his way, he didn’t have any intention of attacking. Instead, he exerted force under his feet and changed directions to dodge Yan Chong. However, with Yan Chong’s current body’s reaction speed and coordination ability, he
moved at the same time he exerted his strength and blocked his path.
This time, the naked man was a little stunned. This script seemed to be different from what he had imagined. Thus, he revealed a strange smile and said to Yan Chong, “Look into my eyes.” His voice seemed to have a special magical power, making it difficult to reject.
Yan Chong complied obediently and their eyes met.
The scene in front of him was like a rippling lake, becoming more and more abstract and distorted. The entire world seemed to have become an oil painting, the color exaggerated and strange.
“You fell asleep and forgot what happened.”
Yan Chong’s eyelids became heavier and heavier. He was exhausted and looked like he was going to fall asleep in the next second. This situation was very familiar. It had been like this for the past six months.
Bang! Yan Chong fell to the ground.
The naked man heaved a sigh of relief. He walked around Yan Chong and continued running.
“Hey, hey, hey! Young man, are you alright?” A surprised shout was heard.
The person chasing behind saw that a student in front had successfully forced a naked thief to stop and was feeling happy. Unexpectedly, at the next moment, the student blocking the way fell to the ground. Could it be a hidden weapon? Or anemia? Indeed, it was right for the college entrance examination
to value sports. The new generation of teenagers should work hard to train their bodies.
However, less than a second after he fell to the ground, Yan Chong immediately got up again.
When he saw the other party’s status and skills, he guessed that if he stopped him, the other party might use hypnosis on him.
Indeed, he was right.
When their eyes met, Yan Chong did feel a little dizzy. However, his powerful mental energy prevented him from fainting for the time being. Instead, he copied the opponent’s cheap skill. In fact, if he had decisively used his combat skills, it would have been very easy to deal with this guy. It was
impossible to activate it instantly without any medium with the naked man’s D+ level hypnosis.
At the very least, they needed to look into each other’s eyes and use words to induce him.
But Yan Chong had a plan, so he let him go on purpose.
Only when the other party passed him and continued to escape did Yan Chong crawl up and secretly follow behind the man. He wanted to know who this guy was. Or rather, what kind of organization did these people belong to and why were they running around naked.
Also, how did they avoid all the cameras?
Lastly, he wanted to know whether the new classmate, Li Mubai, was also a member of the nude group.
Although his Strength, Agility, and Physical stats were average, his speed did not decrease at all. If he was not naked, it would be no different from running as he shuttled through the city.
Yan Chong was also agile and followed behind him for fifty to sixty meters. Every time he was about to tum back, Yan Chong would hide in a corner at an even faster speed to reduce his presence.
Not long after, the naked man ran into a small district..
